[General Questions and Answers] gggirlgeek:
What are you using to benchmark it? And what hardware are you putting it into (what he said)?

I have a class 6 8GB. On my Android I used an app called SD Tools and another called Antutu System Benchmark on my card as-is (not freshly formatted.) I get around 5MB/s write and 11MB/s read. (Appbrain has the apps.)

Tonight I used HD Tune Pro on my PC (trialware) through a USB adapter. I got better results on the PC. I have noticed that the software makes a big difference. HD Tune seems to be the most respected on the net. I got 12.3MB/s read min -- 14.3MB/s max. Write was around 6 min/8 max in the File Benchmark tab (didn't want to reformat my card to test write speeds.)

Use a high quality reader. I don't know the specs on these but mine boots Linux and Windows OK and always tests at max speeds with my cards. It is a full-sized USB stick reader with a mini-sd adapter.

Update: I got very different results when the cards were formatted by different systems though. My class 2 card formatted with Nokia phone got 18MB/s read, but my class 4 formatted by my PC for booting got 6MB/s min and 14 max. All with HD tune in same card reader. All fat32. WTF??:confused:

I wonder if these programs are testing the first partition, which would be the boot partition on my class 2 card. Something strange going on.

[LG Optimus 2x] Acei:
Hi guys,

I'm not sure if any of you are aware, but I've developed Smartbench 2010 couple of months back for Android phones. But just like most other apps available today, version 2010 does not properly handle multiple cores. I am currently working on Smartbench 2011 which will handle multi-core processors by natively using 4 threads for CPU-related tests (hence the app is really quad-core ready).

Now given that Optimus 2X is the first dual-core phone to hit the market, I'm curious if 2011 works as expected, and also if Optimus 2X is properly configured to use the two cores.

I'd appreciate if anyone here could install and run this app and report the two scores - productivity and games. Smartbench 2011 will auto-submit all test run scores, so you will see a rapid increase in number of results you can compare against, once released to the general public.

Remember, this is a beta version (labeled v0.1) and you won't find it in the market place yet. As was the case with 2010, this one will also be available for free eventually.

Here's the link:

[Link removed]

Thanks much! :D

EDIT: Smartbench 2011 v0.7 has been released. It will now allow you to sort results by either Average, Productivity or Games scores. Please re-install this version.

EDIT2: Smartbench 2011 v0.8 has been released. It now offers a filtering option - you can see all results or just stock clock speed results. Mandelbrot test also has been extended for better precision. Again, please re-install this version.

EDIT3: I have just published Smartbench v1.0 in the Android Market - please install this version moving forward. Results submitted by the BETA version will no longer be stored in the server DB. Your support during the BETA period has been very helpful! :)

Hi-

I own the Korean version of the Optimus 2x (su660) which has been rooted. I ran the bench and submitted the scores....the games/productivity scores were around 1300/2000
[LG Optimus 2x] Acei:
Thank you, I can see them. :)

I can also see which apps don't behave well with multiple cores right now - I need to further optimize them. It appears that 'Pi' actually executes amost 3 times faster on 2X than it does on HTC G2! But Mandelbrot does no where near as well, which implies there are some artificial bottlenecks within my Mandelbrot code. I need to experiment further into this.

Thanks everyone who submitted the scores - they were very helpful. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Acei:
Hi again,

I've made several modifications to the original code. I hope the artificial bottleneck that existed in the Mandelbrot test that caused low scores on 2X is now resolved. Also, I've completely removed the File IO tests mainly because I noticed that 2X produces especially inconsistent results. Samsung Galaxy S also had similar issues so I might as well not use it. I've also added new test which basically deals with large string data and also performs some regular expressions on them.

For those who are interested, please install and run the app. It will automatically submit the results to the server, and the result chart will automatically display them.

Thanks again!
[LG Optimus 2x] cvitur1:
Dl'ed the new version and ran it again. Scores similar to the Atrix scores. Not exactly sure what they mean, but hopefully it helps :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Acei:
Should be similar to Atrix since both are Tegra 2 based. :)

You have two scores in Smartbench - Productivity and Games Indexes. Productivity Index is more relevant for people who use any apps that do not use the GPU, while Games Index is more relevant if you are interested in GPU accelerated apps such as 3D games.

Thanks for the feedback. :)

[Galaxy Tab General] docfreed:
The latest Sprint update placed an awful splash screen in the startup sequence. To get rid of it, go to system/media and remove the bootani.qmg file (9,567,712 bytes and probably best to store it somewhere safe - I kept mine on the external SD card). You will need to be rooted to do this and use Root Explorer or similar app.

Then make a copy of samsungani.qmg and rename it bootani.qmg (keeping in the same system/media folder). Then reboot - you will now only see the SAMSUNG logo for a brief time longer then before but the stupid Sprint splash screen is gone!

So lately I've been having an issue with any launcher I set as default. I'm rooted S-off running Iced Glacier 1.1.6 and just about every time i push the home button I get asked which launcher I'd like to use, no matter which I set as default:confused:...So I wiped cache partition and Dalvik cache and when that didn't work I did a data/factory reset and reinstalled Iced Glacier 1.1.6....any one else come across this?

Thanks in advance

Ditto here, can I push ADW to overwrite the sense launcher? if yes how. This is a real PIA.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XfooYen:
Just asking to make sure, but are you selecting the "set as default launcher" checkbox before you make your selection? That box must be ticked for your selection to stick.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djkouza:

I actually had same issue with my g1 running cyanogen mod when I installed the market version.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XfooYen:
Try using an app from the market called home switcher. It makes it easier to switch default launchers and may help locking yours in. Don't know but it's worth a shot.

The other option you have is deleting the launchers that you are not using.

[Fascinate General] armyranger172:
Hey everyone,

I was looking through the fourms and noticed that there is not really a fourm for what tv sites people are using if any not that most people are using 2.2.1. I love the Devs for making this possible and use my phone more than my computer and now as much as I use my tv. What I wanted to do here is maybe make a list of sites people use to get the most out of there flash.

that being said I will list the ones I use: (it wont let me post links in here cuz I don't post on here a lot so the list below will be missing www and .com)

fastpasstv

(this one has a lot of tv shows and is updated a lot, but the links in there don't all work I tend to use the ones that are wisevid or wootly)

greatstufftv

free-tv-video-online.me (no .com on this one)

Well I hope this atleast helps someone out there, I also use hulu but had to download something for that. These sites work well or well enough until netflix gives us an app that works for us.
[Fascinate General] Tkun:
It's not a site, but there's this app called TV Shows that has TONS of different shows and episodes. I suggest you try it out if you haven't already.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] negativedrew:
Just a simple morph I threw together for myself, thought I'd toss it up in case anyone else is like me and can't stand seeing the battery % in the icon.

DO NOT FLASH THIS! This zip is for use with MetaMorph. It's available free in the Android market.

This morph just replaces the battery images with regular stock gingerbread battery icons. The charging is the same and it still has 100 images, so if you change your mind and want to morph or flash another accurate battery later, it should still be fine.

I've included a revert morph as well in case you want the numbers back. I ran this on Bionix 1.3. Not sure about other roms, use at your own risk.

Not responsible for your phone yada yada yada.

Enjoy :)

edit 4/19/11

Added numberless morph for Touchwiz style battery.

edit 4/10/11

morph has been tested and confirmed working with Pepperkake.

I've added rom-specific reverts for the 2 roms tested so far. If you need another one, let me know.

[Vibrant General] gzowner:
I recently got a few solor chargers that charges a 1500ma battery, and return it charges the 1500ma i have in my phone. It takes about 8-12 hours depending on sunlight to charge the solar battery. If my math is correct, the solar is charging the battery at a rate 80mah? I want to beable to have my phone hooked up to this charge majority of the time when i am driving, or taking a greyhound bus. How much power in MAH it uses? Right now with teamwhisky i can go a full day (about 16 hours)on a battery, and wifi is always on and internet is being used for email, ect.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
You assumption is not correct. The charging is not on a linear scale. It's more complicated subject than I have time to write. But there are 2 scales that are working at the same time But, basically the charging would go more or less like this say 1st hour 25% (375mah) charges...2nd hour 25% (281mah) of the remaining amount then 25% of the remaining amount (210mah) like this plus the resistance of accepting the charge goes up as it gets more charged. To answer the second part this all depends on the sun, your use rate etc, but simply put if you are driving in the sun with one of these hooked up you will not lose either net or voice connection....and after all isn't that what you want. Read up on how the battery is used on the phone you will find that the phone sees 100% @ 4.2 V and 0 % @ 3.7volts or something like that.. Like I said there is a lot more to this than just a linear equation.
[Vibrant General] gzowner:
Thanks, I am wondering what solar panel will be best to use to maintain a charge on the battery wile powering up a phone. I am open for suggestions or options. I can get a solar that produces 6v with 50mah. I been told that its not the volts that i cant increase it's the milliamps. So can i get something to increase the amperage with out increasing the volts to maintain a steady charge to the battery while it is being used?
[Vibrant General] oka1:
On a linear scale you are using about 18-20 mah per hr So, the effective thing is to have a charger that has say 3000mah as it will charge a 1500 battery faster simply put. This is hard to explain easily but a 4.2-4.5 volt 3500 solar charger would work very well and charge more than you can use. There is one I saw its like 70 bucks, kinda big but if it works... it may be worth it.

im new to the android world along with smartphones. (dont laugh)

i just updated to 2.2 Froyo. i cant figure out how to copy and paste anything. any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Captivate General] lyrad12:
long press then click copy text, highlight the words, slide, then long press again, select copy
[Captivate General] cincyrob:
well that works to an ex-stint

i just went to a lyrics site on my phone ad tried to copy some lyrics. it dont work. also tried going to facebook and just coping something someone posted. didnt work either. when i did a search in the browser i could do it that way to copy what was posted from the search???? that in itself is a task getting exactly what you want to copy.

even when i go into my email, i cant use it to copy anything in there.???
[Captivate General] MobileNick:
I haven't been too thrilled with the disjointed way that you have to do copy/paste.

- Within the browser, a long press brings up a magnification window that you use to place the start of the text you want to copy. When you release, you get 2 blue lines - the right one has a little circle under it. You can then move the little circle to highlight whatever you want to copy.

- Within a document/notepad app, clicking once in the text brings up a little pentagon under the cursor. You can use this to position the start of the copy. Clicking on the pentagon brings up a little menu - choose the stylized T to start selecting text - then drag the pentagon over the text you wan tto copy. When you release, the menu will pop up again and let you copy or cut. You can paste in the same fashion.

- Email is weirder. You have to go to Menu -> More -> Select text. Then you have to just kind of drag over the text you want to copy - doesn't seem to be much ability to have good control over this. When you release your finger, the text that has been highlighted gets copied.

Don't know if the Facebook app has a way to copy text.
[Captivate General] cincyrob:
the lyrics site i went to wont let you copy anything. i even tried on my computer. so i tried another and it works fine that way. but email(yahoo) i dont get that option to select text. on text size shows up???

What are you using for Yahoo? Native email, K-9, the Yahoo app, or on the browser?

You're not the only one that is new to Smartphones/Android, so no worries there!

I just used My file explorer app to cut n paste, but I never tried to cut n paste my email.

You'll get it figured out I am sure. I remember seeing an app in the market that would let you cut n paste an email attachment, even download it, as well as youtube vid. Just don't remember where I saw it. If I remember I will let you know.

Just out searching for how to, and which one, I'll get there.
[Captivate General] MobileNick:
So apparently the native email doesn't support copy/paste! Like I said, the disjointed way things sometimes are in android.

In the process of trying, I did realize that the native email has VERY nice pinch zoom capability - something K-9 or gmail do not have. Yet another example of this disjointed nature. Gotta take the bad with the good I guess! :)

If copy/paste is very important, I'd suggest trying K-9. MailDroid is another you can try, though it's ad supported & the paid version is kind of expensive.

EDIT: I realized later that K-9 DOES have nice pinch zoom! :) Don't know why it wasn't working for me - something was stuck or whatever, but it seems to work very nicely, so this might be a good alternative.
